Self-help Resources

Computer Cleanup

Take some time to clean up your computer. CCleaner is recommended for routine daily cleanup but these resources can help with “deep cleaning” of unnecessary file:

• Ultimate digital clean-up checklist.
• Checklist for Windows.
• Checklist for Macs.

About These Resources

This section of my site contains more than 80 pages, each containing documentation, troubleshooting hints, advice and suggestions supported by relevant external links.

Indented bullets on this index page are sub-topics found within a page.

Where possible, I link to secure (HTTPS) addresses. Some sites may display a warning that the pages contains linked insecure content within their page (this is beyond my control).

Due to the nature of the Internet, linked resources can disappear without warning. I do my best to maintain the site, but there are thousands of active links and checking them takes a great deal of time.

Intended for Self-Help

The content is designed for you to help yourself and includes both introductory and advanced material.

I've often documented the steps I'd perform in providing professional services.

I Seldom Provide Free Help

I regret that I cannot provide free technical support.

• I earn my living providing such services.
• It takes time to research each solution.

Link Suggestions

If you have a suggested resource (not a correction), please review my policy on link requests on the Contact page. I rarely respond to link requests.

This Site Responsive

To accommodate an increasingly mobile Internet, this site was rebuilt using techniques that are responsive to screen size.

That said, I expect most folks visiting this portion of the site to be using larger screens.

The aside (this panel) will appear to the right of the main content on most devices, but is moved to the bottom of the page when viewed in smart phones and similar narrow-screen devices.
